What it usually is
Often the cause is a clogged disposal or its dishwasher connection, a kinked or clogged drain hose, or a clog in the sink drain line.
What to do first
Check and clean the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher, and run the disposal clear if you have one.
The flat rate that covers it
- Single drain clearing (accessible cleanout): $189
- Garbage disposal replacement (your unit): $249
- Anything else: $90/hr
The West End and Proctor area of Tacoma has older homes, a walkable business district and streets lined with mature trees. Mature trees and older sewer lines go together, and roots are a common reason a drain in an older West End home keeps coming back.
